last update Last Updated: 2025-04-26 20:05:20

Katherine POV

The disbelief in Greg’s eyes changed into something sinister.

Cold dread pierced my whole being as I watched the expression on his face change into something unrecognizable.

Immediately, my hand tugged on Lucas’s shirt.

“You b*stard! I now finally understood everything. You removed me out of the way so you can have my family!”

Greg’s face turned ugly when he snarled.

Lucas pulled me to stand on his back while he faced Greg’s wrath.

“I am just getting what is rightfully mine. Your decisions were all on you. How can you blame me for your actions? Was I the one who did not stick to my vows? Am I the one who cheated and divorced my wife?”

Lucas pointed out.

I was hyperventilating.

The confrontation between these two men was making me nervous.

Greg made an evil laugh.

“She was not yours, Lucas. She does not love you. She did not even remember you.” Greg spat out.

“While I spent the last five years with her. Katherine loved me.” He added.

I felt Lucas flinched.

I closed my eyes and kept pushing, nibbling, and sucking on his lips while my hands caressed his face. While I was a newbie to this, I persisted, knowing I needed to make amends. Lucas needed my assurance, and I intended to give him that. Today, I felt the need to be bolder. To take charge and not just become an unwilling participant. A wave of shyness threatened to overtake me, but the need to prove to him that I was here weighed more.I kept pushing until desperation fueled my action. And then, it happened. Lucas began to respond. He kissed me back, sending a surge of triumph. At last, he reacted positively to my advances.

I felt like I was losing you.”He chuckled. “I may feel disgruntled and dismayed over certain issues, but I will not leave you, alright? I already lost you and our daughter once. I do not want you to slip through my fingers again.”I bit my lip, feeling a tightness in my chest a

Lucas snagged Erin from the bed, and she climbed on her father’s shoulders.He held her hand, crisscrossing like a plane on their way out. I followed them with my eyes, my lips tugging into a smile when I heard Erin’s giggles. Seeing how happy my Erin had been since Lucas came into our lives made me feel contentment in my heart. Looking at her, you wouldn’t see any trace of a sick child. She was recovering and adjusting to our set-up faster than expected. “Thank you,” I whispered to Lucas’ ear after we put Erin to bed. She was now snoring softly when I tucked the covers below her armpits. I placed bolster pillows on her side. We had a hard time convincing her to lie down. Erin insisted on Lucas reading her a story before bedtime, and he indulged her.I sat on her side, listening to their interaction. She cuddled close to Lucas’ chest, listening intently, and from time to time, she would interrupt him to p

    Katherine POVI arrived outside of my husband’s office apprehensively. Greg Combs, my husband of five years, had been avoiding my calls since last week. “Katherine, what are you doing here?” My husband’s secretary asked strangely. Her gaze shifted to Greg's closed door. “Is Greg around? Can I see him?” I asked tiredly.“He’s in a meeting. I don’t think he can see you right now.” Her tone sounded weird.I looked around us. Everyone’s busy but I knew that they were listening. It was common knowledge that my husband Greg forbids me from coming to the office especially since they were busy with the ongoing merger with SF conglomerate, a business giant in robotics owned by self-made billionaire Lucas Sanders. On ordinary days, I wouldn’t defy Greg’s orders, but not today. The hospital informed me that Greg failed to pay for our daughter’s operation which was due today.I tried appealing to Lorrie, his secretary.“I need to talk to him. He was not answering my call.” I said, feeling desp

    Katherine POV“Please, Greg. Don’t do this. Erin needs you.” I begged, but it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. Greg brushed past me to pick their scattered clothes on the floor. He gently pushed Noreen toward his private room before following her, shutting it firmly and leaving me outside feeling like a fool.“Where is Greg?” A voice called my attention.In my absorption of my pain, I did not realize that someone had barged in on the office. Startled, I quickly wiped my tears away and turned my head toward the direction of the door. I was surprised to see Lucas Sanders, Greg’s new boss coming in, playing with a key in his hand and realized it was a duplicate key to this office. Lucas strode toward me, his eyes narrowing as he studied my face. I stepped back, cringing inside, hating the inspection because it made me feel exposed.“What happened?” He asked curiously, staring at me as if he could see through my soul. I don’t know if it was just me, but since the conference meeti

    Katherine POVThis is the ultimate humiliation. Greg is divorcing me with his mistress by his side.My chest heaves as I wordlessly march toward Greg’s desk, slapped the paper atop it and snatched the pen from its holder before shakily affixing my signature on the document. Rage that I had never known took over, making my body shake uncontrollably. “There. All done!” I told him, shoving the document to his chest. Greg almost stumbled when he grabbed it with his hands. I don’t care. I would have wanted him to fall so hard so that he may experience at least a modicum of the pain he was inflicting on me. My bad.Then, I shot Noreen a glare. She sat back on the couch, preening at my expense. “Whew! Signing the divorce paper is the most sensible thing you have done. At least Greg won’t have to put up with the farce you call marriage.” She muttered in disdain while she inspected her well-maintained fingernails with care. I snorted. Now, her claws are showing. I realized now that Nore

    Katherine POVI don’t know what to make of his call, or why the sudden need to see me after I signed our divorce papers. I have high hopes that Greg had a change of mind. Not about the divorce but about helping Erin. I knew that there’s no way Greg is going to change his mind about our marriage. I had been feeling the gradual change in him since two years ago. I ignored the signs because I trusted him, but now, I realized that I placed my trust in the wrong man. A few minutes later, I found myself hesitating outside the cafe where Greg said he would meet me. Trepidation filled me before I made up my mind and pushed the door open.I walked in and instantly saw Greg. Thankfully, he was alone. “What do you want?” My voice sounded flat when I stopped by Greg’s table, but inside, I was nervous. I kept clenching and unclenching my hands as I waited for him to take his sweet time placing his phone on the side before deigning to look up at me. “You must be in such a hurry to come he

    Katherine POVThe kiss jolted me. I never expected the aloof and standoffish Lucas Sanders to be capable of doing something like this.He hated me. I was sure of it. But why does his kiss tell me otherwise? There was anger, longing, affection, and something else which I could not define. I was like a statue, and for a few seconds, I did not respond until he growled, using that distinct tone when he said my name. “Kiss me back, Katherine.” I did not know what to do.I was shocked because for the first time in my life, I felt excitement. Heat pooled in my stomach, making my body tremble. Then, he lightly bit my lower lip, making it tingle, sending a low-voltage electric current coursing through my spine, and settling in the pit of my stomach. I shivered, not in fear, but in something else. Despite my misgivings, I shyly opened my lips when the tip of his tongue skimmed the inner seam. Then, I mimicked his actions. I kissed him back. This time, with so much unspent passion.This

    Lucas POVI watched the shock registering on Greg Combs and Katherine’s faces when I issued the declaration. It gave me immense pleasure letting this b*stard know that he made a mistake.I don’t intend to give Katherine up. Not for anything, now or ever. I took advantage of their surprise to slowly walk toward them.When I reached them, I snaked an arm around Katherine’s waist to show Greg that Katherine belonged to me and me alone. I watched in satisfaction when my action elicited a wince from Greg Combs. I wanted him to know that no amount of regret can change the past. It already happened. All we have to do is accept things as they are. If he had changed his mind and regretted the decision to divorce Katherine, then he could live in misery because I was never going to give her up for anything.“Katherine is mine,” I told the shocked Greg Combs.“She has always been mine to begin with.” I reiterated when he recovered from the initial shock. When he did, I saw a trace of regre

    Katherine POVI stared blankly at him while I gripped my phone in my hand. I don’t know what to say. Greg looked so much like how I looked before when I found out that he was having an affair with Noreen Jacobs. I was looking at the face of betrayal. I shook my head in an attempt to discredit the accusation. All the while, I was acutely aware of the people around us. This is a sidewalk. Passersby would notice us and couldn’t help but have an earshot. Even if they did not mean to snoop, Greg’s voice was loud enough to be carried by the wind. Everyone within earshot could not help but hear what he had to say. “I saw you.” He spits out. A frown formed on my head. “Saw me where?” I was clearly confused and wanted to be enlightened. Greg did not disappoint as he began a monologue that depicted an unsavory image of me. “You came out of his car not just once but all the time since I decided to observe.”Then, he brushed his fingers to his oily hair and gave a self-deprecat

He nodded.Erin seemed satisfied by his response, and Lucas began to relax.A moment later, Erin turned her head toward him and asked. “If you love mommy, why is that girl kissing you?” Erin looked like she was about to cry,Now, that was something I did not expect to hear. My eyes turned to Lucas sharply. I heard Lucas cough out loud before glancing in my direction. My right brow arched upon hearing the information, leaving Lucas unsure of how to react. I would have remained oblivious to the whole thing if Erin did not mention it. Lucas gulped. He shook his head and began explaining with his eyes trained on me, magnifying his guilt. “You just said it. She was kissing me, not the other way around.” Lucas explained.He was watching my face for any change, but I remained impassive. It

I did not know“I was buying something for Agatha, a token to show her that I was willing to see her more than a friend.” I felt a blockage in my airways when he began to tell me about the ring I saw in Agatha’s post. The one that gave me the impression that he was toying with me.“A solitaire diamond ring caught my eye. At that time, I hated you for lying and choosing Greg over me, but the ring kept tugging at me. I bypassed the ring and left, but there was this restlessness inside, a feeling of regret. I asked Dan to go back to Hugo’s Creations to buy the ring under his name,

Right now, I can not define what I felt for Lucas. There was attraction and some feelings, but not enough to consider it love. “I don’t know what to say,” I told him honestly and shook my head. There was a subtle shift in him. I must have hurt him by being honest. I cupped his chin to force him to meet my gaze. “You know you are special, and I am attracted to you. I also like how you are good to me and a great father to Erin.” I told him sincerely while looking into his eyes. “But not enough to love me.” His reply hinted at bitterness, and I pulled him nearer for a quick kiss. He took advantage of our position. He grabbed the back of my head to deepen the kiss. Lucas began exploring my mouth. He was nibbling my lips, sending tingles all over my body, and down to my toes.
